[QUOTE="JUKE179r, post: 1320711, member: 129964"] My '07 MBP really needs more HD speed but I'm on a budget so no SSD or new MBP for me until way in the future. :Angry: As of now, I have a 320GB/5400RPM which is barely 200GB full of my music projects and a WIN7 bootcamp partition. GB size isn't too important now but speed is for my DAW/music programs. I can purchase a new WD Velociraptor HD 300GB/10000RPM (9.5mm) for $90. I've read about excessive vibration and heat with the 10000RPM HD's but haven't came across anyone who actually installed/used it in a notebook/laptop. I believe the $90 Velociraptor would be worth the chance to try it for speedy reading/writing to the HD. If it doesn't work, I have plenty of Mac backups and I can always use the HD in my PC tower. ;D Your thoughts on trying this? Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]

How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
